    Sorry, got distracted!
    Prom-dress shopping for our friends 16 yrold went v.well. I think that her parents were expecting something long and satiny:D ( she is about 6ft ) well, she got something in a mid blue, fitted up top and ending about, or just above, the knees and very floaty. For a girl who lives in tracky bottoms and jeans she looked amazing. we then took her to Bicester village and treated her to a pair of shoes ( dont ask me the designer) down from £220 to £58.....she wants to move in with us now :rotfl:
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    weigh in tomorrow, yes Beanie... not sure how it will go, so hard to tell... but i'll be happy with anything, as have had a good couple of weeks.

    how was your run sally? 10 miles was it? Mine was 3.5 but when i got to 3, i decided to detour and did 4.5 instead... felt great... 5k at Balmoral is next weekend...
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    yeah, she's doing 1.5k........ she was training today, did her 1mile run...

    it worked out well with Rachel coming over.

    She came and we ran the first half mile together, then i kept going and rachel ran back with erin to do 2nd half mile... i carried on for the rest of my run on my own. Then rachel gave erin her lunch and occupied her til i came home...

    the rest of the day was just spent lazing around really...!

    have updated mine, erins and Big G's ipods tonight....

    realised when i was running that i have loads of the wrong songs on mine...
